Admission Without Undergraduate DegreeStudents who have completed at least 90 acceptable hours of credit in courses with substantial intellectual content in an approved institution, and have completed all non-elective coursework toward a bachelor's degree, may be admitted on the condition that the undergraduate degree be earned prior to or simultaneously with the granting of the J.D. degree. Usually this condition can only be met if the institution which will grant the undergraduate degree will accept credits earned in the UMKC Law School.Since the UMKC Law School does not confer the undergraduate degree and assumes no responsibility in regard to it, it is the duty of the student to make certain that the requirements for the degree are satisfied. Questions concerning requirements for the undergraduate degree or of the transferability of law credits to complete the degree should be directed to the institution granting the undergraduate degree. A letter from the institution confirming that it will accept credits earned in the UMKC Law School to complete the undergraduate degree must be submitted as part of the application for admission.
